Lincoln, Neb.- The Nebraska football team continued its preparations for their first road trip of the season Saturday at the Fresno State Bulldogs, as the Huskers conducted a 50-minute walk-thru Thursday afternoon inside of the Hawks Championship Center.

Head Coach Bo Pelini addressed the media following practice, noting that the Huskers will head out to Fresno after an early afternoon practice in Lincoln.

“We have had a good week of preparation, I feel good about it,” Pelini said. “We don’t get out there until later. We are going to practice here in the early afternoon and then head out there.”

Pelini added that this week has been a pretty normal week for the Huskers.

“I thought we had a good week of prep, not as good on Tuesday, better on Wednesday which is normally how the week goes. We tied some things up today and I expect pretty good attention to detail tomorrow.”

Pelini did mention that he did not think the Huskers had a poor week of practice last week leading up to the McNeese State game, but rather just failed to play with good technique and fundamentals during the game Saturday.

“I don’t think we had a horrible week of prep last week, it was just like we didn’t have our stinger when we took the field,” he said. “I think our guys played hard, we just did not play smart and with good technique.”

According to Pelini, wide receivers Sam Burtch and Brandon Reilly will not make the trip due to injuries. This will mark the third consecutive game both Burtch and Reilly will not suit up for the Huskers.

The Nebraska football team will have one more practice Friday afternoon before getting on the plane to travel to California. The Huskers’ first road game of the season Saturday at Fresno State will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network with a kickoff at 9:30 p.m. (Central).

Lincoln, Neb.- The Nebraska football team continued its preparations for the third game of the season with a 90-minute practice Tuesdayafternoon at the Hawks Championship Center and outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass practice fields. The Huskers will travel to Fresno Statethis Saturday for the first away game of the season at Bulldog Stadium.

Both offensive coordinator Tim Beck and defensive coordinator John Papuchis met with the media following practice.

Beck made note that he would like to see a lot more consistency in the ‘Red Storm’ NU offense.

“We have to be more consistent, we were not very good in the second half at all,” Beck said. “Too many three-and-outs, we have to convert and stay on the field. We did not do a good job doing that.”

Sophomore quarterback Tommy Armstrong will look to add to his already impressive 4-0 record away from the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. Beck said that he just wants Armstrong to execute like he is supposed to, and it will not matter if NU is playing home or away.

“I just want him to play within the system, read what he is supposed to read, and deliver the ball to the guys he is supposed to deliver the ball to with proper technique,” Beck said. “When he does that, he is pretty good, when he doesn’t he is not very good. I don’t care if it is home or away.”

On the defensive side of the ball, junior standout defensive end Randy Gregory returned to practice following a minor knee injury. According to Papuchis, Gregory looked good in his first day back, but did not compete in all of the team drills during practice.

“Obviously whenever you can add a player with his ability back into the mix, it will obviously make you better; so it is good to have him back,” Papuchis said. “He didn’t do a whole lot of the team stuff, but he was out there moving around really well.”

As for what it means for the Blackshirt defense now that Gregory is back, Papuchis said that if Gregory plays his best, he is one of the best players out on the field.

“If he goes out and plays the way he is capable of, he is one of better defensive players in the country,” he said. “So having him back certainly helps.”

The Huskers will be back on the practice fields Wednesday as the Nebraska football continues its preparations for their first road trip of the 2014 season at Fresno State on Saturday Sept. 13, at 9:30 p.m. (Central). Fans can tune in to national broadcast on the CBS Sports Network.
